D. K. POPE
We have noticed the cards
announcing the candidacy of
the Hon. D. K. Pope as a can-
didate for county attorney be-
fore the republican primaries
Mr. Pope has a very strong
and attractive personality
and stands very high at the
bar.
He is a young man, a lead-
ing republican worker and
is recognized by them as
among their best platform or-
ators.
It is asserted among Mr.
Pope’s friends that the office
of county attorney only ap-
pealed to Mr. Pope as an op-
portunity to serve the public
It having been shown him
by his admirers that the office
this year presented an op-
portunity to an able unbiased
prosecutor rarely open to
personal ambition.
Seeing this Mr.[Popedecid-
ed to try for the nomination
after the continued sincere
solicitation of friends.
If nominated and elected,
we believe he will make good.
JACK SPAIN
At times there has been
some comment on the possi
bility of Jack Spain’s renom
ination and re-election.
But Jack is out again for
the office.
His friends point to the fact
that four years ago, Jack
broke himself up in fighting
the Haskell Machine demo-
crats for that office.
He beat them and then they
stole the office from him.
Two years ago, he came out
again only after many repub-
licans had repeatedly gone to
his office and implored him to
run and all but demanded it.
He was again elected and
that time got the office.
His friends now claim that
having made a good Sheriff,
he is entitled to renonmation
And it looks that way.
